I love that someone needed to solve cliché high school math problems to make these happen.
Up through the 1930s, State Fairs across America featured head on collisions between trains. The first occurred at the Iowa State Fair in 1896 before a crowd of 20,000. This video is from the Minnesota State Fair during the Great Depression, as featured in the poster below:

Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability lyra.horse/blog/2025/12... "CSS hack accidentally becomes regular hack"

Does anyone at @bsky.app plan on fixing video playback on iOS? It keeps getting stuck in full screen mode.

Can we plz stop with YouTube thumbnails that contain fabricated social media posts? They work because they’re engaging, but they’re also lies. @t3.gg

It’s been a few months and I have a new update on SS1 disk reading. We ended up improving disk reading to be on par with loading from an SD in almost all CD-cores. All CD cores except PS1 = indistinguishable from SD. PS1 = edge cases where a game can be <1% slower.
Doing some testing of SS1 reading PS1 data directly from a disk without dumping the data first. It’s much better than I expected. That being said, copying games to the SD or SSD is still the optimal strategy for performance. It’s a one-time process and better for random access.

I’m legit concerned they’re going to release smallpox either in an attempt to disprove germ theory, or due to stupidity.
The Trump admin is in the midst of laying off 1,100-1,200 HHS staff. The CDC's outbreak responders, gone. The office producing CDC's weekly journal MMWR is gone. CDC staff securing sensitive data, gone. Worker safety, gone. Immunization group, gone. Instead, Congress watches RFK "make the proof"

New game just dropped in Dailies! Mindoku is a fun twist on Sudoku. It’s much easier to do on a phone, but not too easy. dailies.jonabrams.com/mindoku

Added preliminary support for loading Sega Saturn games from disk without dumping on SuperStation. It needs some additional work to make it more seamless. PC-Engine CD is next.
I had some downtime after work today, so I added preliminary support for loading Sega CD games from disk without dumping on SuperStation. It works very well! I’ll try Sega Saturn when I get a chance.
I love this kind of thinking. The concept of information remains underrated in physics. youtu.be/WqYRMmlZmhM
